We established ‘a route to a safe plebiscite’, and we are very proud that that route was fully implemented. The public, unanimously, valued the strategy and endorsed the message, it was (…) a democratic party ”.
“I think that the evaluation we make of the plebiscite (…) from the health point of view is impeccable, we have already said that we understand that the population perfectly understood our message that it was necessary to maintain sanitary measures,” he said.
Along these lines, he mentioned: “As the President said, the plebiscite is not the end of something, but rather the beginning of a new stage for Chile. It is necessary, or it was necessary to reform the Constitution and I believe that this step has been taken. It is an important step and there are no winners or losers, here the one that triumphed was Chile “.
